We had a great experience at Palos Pediatric Dentistry. The staff is awesome, so friendly and helpful. They have been great with my 6 year old son and he loves going to see Dr. Facko. He has many mouth sensories and used to have problems going to the dentist. Since I have started taking him to Dr. Facko, the experience at the dentist has been great for us. Thank you to Dr. Facko and the staff for their kindness and patience with my son.

Welcome to our Palos Heights Pediatric Dental Practice!

Welcome to Palos Pediatric Dentistry. It is our mission to treat your children as we would treat our own, and we do this with a strong focus on prevention and education. It is important to us to provide our patients and their parents with the tools necessary to promote healthy habits at home, where excellent dental care begins.

When treatment is necessary, we provide it in a compassionate and gentle manner. We focus on addressing the problem while keeping your child calm and comfortable. Our treatment approach is conservative because we know most parents want to avoid any unnecessary treatment. When we make treatment recommendations, we will share with you why it is important to the health of your child.

Creating a Partnership With Parents

We value parent-patient involvement, and that is why we welcome parents to our treatment rooms for their child’s dental appointment. We believe, with the proper approach, a parent’s presence can help to calm and support their child.

Clear Communication

We value communication with parents and our patients. Treatment options are developed for every patient, and it is our goal to provide you with the information you need to make the best decisions for your child. We will inform you of the costs of treatment in advance as well as offer flexible payment options so you will not be caught off-guard with unexpected bills.

We communicate with your child in terms that help them to understand treatment without frightening them. Our team is expertly trained for effective communication with our patients of all ages.

Customized Treatment Options

Our focus on overall health really sets us apart from other offices. At Palos Pediatric Dentistry, Palos Heights pediatric dentist Dr. Richard Facko creates each treatment plan based on your child’s individual dental needs and health. Our patients are people, not numbers. Prevention plans, x-rays, fluoride, check-up intervals, and dental treatment are all customized to your child’s needs. Children vary in their susceptibility to cavities and their temperaments. Both of these factors are considered for every child when developing an approach to dental treatment.

High Quality Care In a Relaxed Atmosphere

We provide excellent, high quality dentistry in a relaxed and laid-back environment. Our office has a play area for kids as well as DVD players in the treatment rooms for the enjoyment of our patients. We invite you to make yourself at home when you are in our office.

Call to Schedule an Appointment for Your Child

Once you have an initial appointment in our office, you will know you have brought your child to the right place. Our combination of exceptional dental skills and compassion make us one of the best pediatric dental offices around.

We know that your child is the most important person in the world to you, and we treat them that way. We make their comfort and happiness a priority.

If your child is ready for their first dental exam or if you are looking to switch offices, call our Palos Heights pediatric dental office to take the first steps toward comprehensive dental health. We look forward to hearing from you.

When kids have a difficult time at the dentist office, their health may suffer long term. Studies linking poor oral health to chronic health conditions like heart disease make it more important than ever to get the special needs dentistry your child deserves in Palos Heights.
